4. Comfortable. Made of lightweight, flexible materials and with a strap adjustable different head-sizes – the product delivers optimal comfort and positive experience for users.
5. Translucent. The clearer mask enables better interpersonal communication between users.

The products can also be adapted to include the branding of larger customers.
